[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> IMO - Good idea to put it on the forum for others to see. -- tangotee, Wed, Aug 14 2002, 19:11:20

I think it is a good idea to put the name up but then again I understand the implications, someone else less honest go do malice to a good resort...

I am in the process of booking my stay with a resort at Redang. I would appreciate if you could reveal the resort to me via e-mail. My e-mail is as listed as such but kindly remove the "NOSPAM" portion of the address.

Thank you Samuel Lai

I agree full heartedly with this quote from a Bali forumite:
"We find excuses for less than satisfactory with the . Some people seem to think this is knocking.. well .. maybe it is but until we expect and demand what we pay for, we deserve to get less." RIGHT ON.
